Just before 4 p.m., the Portland Police Bureau reported that rocks were thrown at officers near Southwest 4th Avenue and Columbia Street, though there were no injuries. Other parts of the march continued on peacefully.

The incidents between the police and protesters started to escalate, though, with officers reporting a medic was hit with a can of soda and that windows had been broken at the Green/Wyatt Federal Building.

The PPB suggested that the permitted marchers separate from the “anarchist” group performing acts of vandalism. They also reported that officers were putting on “personal protective equipment” due to more projectiles being targeted at them.

Just before 4:30 p.m., the PPB pulled the permit for the march, citing actions by anarchists. Officers advised that “law-abiding participants” use the sidewalks to leave the area and warned that anyone remaining in the streets would be arrested.

Officers say they also have destroyed a police vehicle and are destroying windows and property around the area.
